ABR. You sure that's knotweed?
Possibly send email to tom@knotweed.co.uk to id from a photo.
Having gone through the process recently, the knotweed is classified in terms of risk. Mortgage will be taking account of that risk level (depends on how far away it is). The council is treating the knotweed behind my house and it looks like dried up bamboo shoots. To my eye, those leaves look like they've been eaten by caterpillars or slugs.
If its being treated the seller should be able to give a certificate to say so, this is what will be asked for by the mortgage company.
Good luck

Went to view a property last weekend, was shown some dead looking Japanese knotweed ny the EA and told that it was being treated so shouldn't be a problem to get mortgage, insurance etc.
Later found some more - does the the fact it's holey and misshapen look like the treatment is working, or is it coming back with a vengeance?
